And a structure that follows the editors and the menus. Without general CG Tutorials for a tool, and forgetting to describe how the tool really works and what it does. Without odd opinions like Angle based is better than LSCM to unwrap. The Blender manual is unsearchable in big parts, has an odd structure, and still relies heavily on the Blender keymap to name just a few flaws. That’s a completely different audience and development target.

The target audience for Bforartists are hobbyists and indie developers.

Another important bit are the non code things.

And lots more small details like not so much confirm dialogs.Ī detailed list of the changes can be found in the release notes: But the code is just half of the show.

Some neat add-ons to improve usability, like the reset 3D View add-on or the Set Dimensions add-on with which you can scale in world coordinates in edit mode.

Left aligned checkboxes and text where possible.

A tool shelf with the old tools too, in tabs.

A configurable toolbar with icon buttons.

Colored and as double as much icons than Blender.

Some things are better accessible now, some are not so much in the way anymore. Many tools that were formerly hotkey only have a menu entry now. Lots of unnecessary double, triple or even more identical menu entries removed.

An own keymap, which is reduced to just the necessary hotkeys and a navigation that can be purely done by mouse.

In short, the main differences between Bforartists and Blender are: So try it, you loose nothing.įor a deeper description of the differences have a look at our comparison page: The differences to Blender You can use both asides to make yourself a picture. Bforartists is fully compatible with Blender.

Because our UI is streamlined, cleaner, better organized, has colored icons, left aligned text, and much more of all those things that makes a good UI and the life easier.
